(1) The order for
payment of compensation may be registered in the Lands Titles Office or the
General Registry Office in such manner as the Registrar-General determines,
and shall, except so far as the court otherwise directs, upon registration
operate as a charge upon the land of the encroaching owner and shall have the
same priority as if it were a mortgage registered at the time when the order
is registered.
(2) In this section
the land of the encroaching owner means the parcel of land contiguous to the
boundary beyond which the encroachment extends, or such part thereof as the
court specifies in the order.
